CRX Cobot Demonstrations

FANUC’s expanded series of CRX collaborative robots are extremely robust and can run for eight years without maintenance.  Easy-to-use interactive programming enables users to teach points using hand guidance or a Tablet TP with drag and drop icons.  

Machine Tending - A CRX-10iA/L with FANUC QSSR (Quick & Simple Start-up of Robotization) will demonstrate how easy it is to connect a FANUC CRX cobot and a machine tool.   QSSR simplifies the automation of machine tool load/unload applications using the CNC controller’s easy guidance functionality for quick connectivity, start-up and operation. 

Palletizing - A CRX-25iA robot, offering a 25kg payload and 1,889mm reach will demonstrate case palletizing.  Guided by a 3DV/200 iRVision® sensor mounted to the arm, the CRX-25iA will palletize boxes to nearly 7’ high.  In addition, the CRX-25iA will be mounted to a mobile cart to showcase its flexibility.  The robot can be easily repositioned by hand and uses vision to automatically adjust to its new location and continue working accurately.

Packing - A CRX-10iA will demonstrate packing health and beauty products.  Attendees can try the cobot’s intuitive hand guidance and easy-to-use Tablet TP programming.   

FANUC SCARA Robots

FANUC recently expanded its line of four-axis SCARA robots to include the SR-3iA/U ceiling mount featuring a full 360-degree work envelope with no dead zones, the robot can access any point within its reach.  In addition, FANUC’s SCARA lineup also includes the SR-3iA/C and SR-6iA/C cleanroom variants.   

High-Speed Tracking Demonstration - The SR-3iA/U ceiling mount SCARA robot has a 3kg payload and 350 mm reach. The SR-3iA/U will use iRVision 3DV and iRPickTool to pick various parts from a moving circular conveyor, move them to a 2D camera for inspection, then place them onto an outfeed conveyor into the appropriate Pass/Fail locations.

Breakfast Sandwich Assembly - SR-6iA/C and LR Mate 200iD/7LC Robots

An LR Mate 200iD/7LC and SR-6iA/C – both cleanroom robots - will assemble four breakfast sandwiches.  First, the LR Mate 200iD/7LC uses iRVision 3D to pick and place a bun on a plate.  At the same time, the SR-6iA/C SCARA robot will pick and place a sausage patty on top of the bun.  This continues until patties are placed on all four buns.  The robots will alternate placing the remaining elements on each sandwich including an egg, a slice of cheese and a top bun.  Once all four sandwiches are completed, the robots remove items in reverse order and the cycle repeats. 

Visual Line Tracking – LR Mate 200iD/7L Robot

A FANUC LR Mate 200iD/7L uses an overhead mounted 3DV/400 Vision Sensor to find and track parts moving down a conveyor.  The robot picks a part and places it into a bin.  The system highlights the speed and accuracy of the 3DV/400 vision sensor and the ability to detect the 3D orientation of a work piece.

Built-in Intelligence

FANUC offers application software for packaging and palletizing, integrated iRVision® and tracking features, ROBOGUIDE simulation, Dual Check Safety (DCS), and Zero Down Time (ZDT) to help customers monitor and manage their automation.
